Post Sideways main thruster?
Herro :)

Im very new to modding on cortex and i have an idea for my first mod, but to do this i want to make a car-like craft with main thrusters on one side facing sideways as opposed to down.

I have checked out the tutorials and didn't find anything to help me so if you have a link to a tutorial or a template or some advice?

thankies

Try repositioning the main thruster. Bear in mind that this way, the craft can't be steered. It can only go forward.

There's a variable...
Something angle. No spaces.

Code:
<tab>EmissionAngle = Matrix
<tab><tab>AngleDegrees = X

0 is to the right of the emitter, 90 up, -90 down, and 180 to the left.

You put it where you define the emitter. You can make a copy of Rocket MKI's main thruster to try it out and set the rotation then, like so:
Code:
AddEffect = AEmitter
<tab>CopyOf = Rocket MK1 Main Thruster
<tab>PresetName = RMKI Main 90
<tab>EmissionAngle = Matrix
<tab><tab>AngleDegrees = 90


If you attached that to a rocket, it should emit 90 counterclockwise of where it usually emits.
